Westbuild Piling provides specialist piling and foundation solutions for residential, commercial and industrial projects across the UK. From mini piling and steel cased piling to RC ground beams, retaining walls and reinforced concrete foundation systems, our experienced team delivers reliable, cost-effective solutions tailored to the ground conditions and structural requirements of each project.
Every construction project relies on strong and dependable foundations. At Westbuild Piling, we offer a comprehensive range of piling, foundation and ground engineering services designed to support developments of all sizes, from house extensions and self-build properties to large commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects.
Our expertise includes Mini Piling, Steel Cased Piling, Open Bore Piling, Sectional Flight Auger Piling, RC Ground Beams, RC Slabs and Retaining Wall Construction. Working closely with homeowners, developers, contractors and structural engineers, we assess the specific ground conditions, site constraints and loading requirements of each project to recommend the most appropriate foundation solution.
Whether you're overcoming restricted access, poor ground conditions, made ground, clay soils or complex structural requirements, our experienced team provides practical foundation systems designed to deliver long-term performance and reliability.
Mini piling systems are ideal for a wide range of applications, particularly in restricted access locations and existing buildings, where traditional piling methods are not suitable. They provide an effective foundation solution for complex ground conditions and specialist construction requirements.
Steel cased piling provides a reliable and cost-effective foundation solution for challenging ground conditions, restricted access sites and developments requiring enhanced load-bearing capacity. Using driven steel casings, we deliver robust foundation systems for residential, commercial and industrial projects across the UK
This piling method is ideal for use in cohesive soils. The rotating auger is forced into the strata reaming out the soil as it goes. Once the required or desired depth has been met the augers are with drawn leaving an "open hole". Steel reinforcement is then placed before being filled with concrete.
SFA piling is created by drilling sectional augers flights into the ground. The sides of the hole are supported at all times by the soil, auger or placed concrete, eliminating the need for the temporary casing or bentonite slurry. Upon reaching the required depth, sand-cement grout or concrete is pumped down the auger flight filling the pile, whilst the augers are steadily and slowly withdrawn. Once filled reinforcement is immediately placed into the pile.
Our standard beam section is 450mm x 450mm but this is amended to suit the build and conditions on site where necessary. The advantages of cast in situ beams over precast are mainly lower cost and improved flexibility, especially if the piles are deflected out of tolerance. RC beams are ideally suited for smaller contracts or restricted sites, as there is a much shorter lead time and no need for large delivery vehicles.
Retaining walls are used for holding back soil so an area can be excavated. They can be constructed with small spaces using either bored piles or sheet piles being determined by the nature and condition of the soil itself and the site conditions. Contiguous pile walls are an innovative way to build retaining walls.
Similar to RC ground beams, we offer design-and-build services for RC slabs in new builds, residential extensions, or commercial projects. They can also be used in underpinning works.
